H-O-T!

Back in the day (circa 2006), on a day like today, I'd be enjoying the sun and the beach, possibly enjoying a beer, and most likely be enjoying an afternoon nap after a day of sun, sand and the ocean. Nowadays, I'm learning that hot weather and babies don't mix - the irritability of the sticky little monkey, having to apply sunscreen every couple of hours without getting any in his eyes, and being stuck indoors between the hours of 9 and 4. It's hot in Savannah, probably much hotter than it is here, but you can't escape it here... no air conditioning (anywhere) and the humidity is crushing. Luckily we live a block from the ocean, so it is a lot "cooler" here than most of the rest of the city.

We're ready for it to cool off. We're ready for Easter vacation. We're ready to finish the semester here. We're ready to spend time with friends and family in the states this summer. We're ready.

(Re-reading this, it sounds negative. I don't mean it to. We're still enjoying Peru. We're just hot and cranky and ready for "Fall".)

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
